Hi Maniac,

There is a group of players that meet regularly just up the road in St.Neots their Facebook group page is HERE.

Nice bunch of players, they play in a little pub every Tuesday evening.

I run a campaign in Upper Caldecote that is full at the moment but we do plan on running one shot PFS scenarios every now and then and you'd be welcome to come along.

Hope that helps,

Apoc/Rob

Congrats on getting to 100! :D

and more so on the 150 lbs! how did you manage that? i could stand to drop about that much too :)

Grand Lodge

You are a star! thank you Katina :D

Do you have/is there a list of all the monsters that have been used in Paizo's published Pathfinder adventures, scenarios and modules?

I ask because I'd love to add some seldom seen monsters to a campaign i am planning as a change to the usual suspects :)

Grand Lodge

good thinking Batman! i'll ask him now :D

I ran a very successful homebrew campaign once based on the MtG Kamigawa world. About 60% of the monsters that they fought were kami and spirits of varying types. Since there wasn't enough variety in those creature types I just went and reskinned things willy-nilly. Need a pack of kami of the icy howling winds on a mountain top? Hellhounds with all their fire changed to cold. Need a low-level lumbering oni? Ogre should do the trick. Giant forest kami that hates worked metal? Advanced Bebilith!

My players were constantly on their toes and started heavily investing in the knowledge skills related to identifying their foes.

I like this, i may shamelessly steal it :)

You could tell your players to stop metagaming. When a skeleton shows up, a non-metagaming player has to make a Knowledge (religion) skill check to *possibly* learn that the skeleton has DR/Bludgeoning. If they don't learn the information, they have to use trial and error to figure out how to overcome the DR.

If you decide to allow your players to continue metagaming, any published information is likely to be used by them to further metagame. That means custom monsters build by you (lots of work) is really the only thing they won't possibly know in advance. You can cut the work down by only changing the signature abilities of Bestiary monsters: Skeletons with DR/Slashing, etc.

Personally, I'd recommend a "no metagaming" policy.

They would if I ask but it is not them purposely gaming the system, it's just we have fought a LOT of skeletons and it is almost second nature.

This is about throwing some variety in there by not using the same tired monsters (well classic, i never tire of squishing goblins!).

thanks for your reply though :)

one more question if I may, I have subscribed to the modules and got my 15% discount (from AP subscription) on the first book but it has not applied to the next Pathfinder Module: Down the Blighted Path (PFRPG).

Should my discount apply to it?

Sorry if I am being stupid, it has been one of those weeks :)

Grand Lodge

Plant based creatures were something I was thinking of, I generally like the Lake Encarthan area and Nirmathas is a particular favourite of mine, so they would fit the theme nicely.

Although i may go completely home-brew depending on where my ideas take me :)

Grand Lodge

awesome, thanks :)

Grand Lodge

thanks for the ideas, I am looking at throwing some monsters that my players are likely to never have heard of as a change of pace. it will also avoid the metagaming that occurs when you throw a well known beasty at a group.

A skeleton drops at the table and everyone switches out for blunt weapons. Throw a gribbly and obscure monster at them and they pause for thought and think about the encounter.

Grand Lodge

Hi,

My order for December was showing 5 items ready to dispatch but has dropped to 4 with no sign of the other item(Pathfinder Adventure Path #100—Hell's Rebels (4 of 6): A Song of Silver).

can you check if there is a problem or if I am just missing something obvious?

Cheers,

Apoc

I am currently in the planning stage for a campaign and one thing that I would like to do is avoid using monsters that have appeared in PFS, modules and APs.

Is there a breakdown anywhere of what monsters have appeared across Paizo's published adventures that i can use to pick the more seldom used or less common creatures from?

Hope that makes sense, coffee level is currently only at 2%

Cheers,

Apoc

Razmir. You can fist-bump Razmir then go crack some heads in his name...

Can't wait to show him off at my next gaming session! I said it before and will say it again, you are a legend!

Grand Lodge

Wow! the background looks awesome! if you fancy it, i would love to see drake sat in a tavern with some ale near to hand ;)

Grand Lodge

Ooh! slowly getting closer to Drake :D

Ruloc, your work is amazing and the first thread I check daily for the awesome artwork!

You sir are a legend.

I can, but my wife doesn't like it when I do though.

Grand Lodge

Oh wow, can't believe I have only just found this thread! your Art-fu is amazing and if I may, I would love to get a couple of characters brought to life.

Drake

profile and appearance:
He is 5'11" and of a athletic build not bulky from years spent ranging. He has a handsome square-jawed face with a short beard which he uses in attempt to cover a deep, old scar down the left side of his face. His hair is thick, shaggy and blond at about shoulders length.

He wears old and an oft repaired studded leather tunic of faded black (nearly grey from years of washing, repair and wear) shirt and trousers; he carries a large sword (Great sword) and a longbow slung at his back. All of his equipment is left over from previous rangers and is well looked after and well treated.

He is a fairly happy go lucky type and is usually quick to laugh and share a joke, always having at least a half smile on his face.


Drake's story - He was originally drawn up to play in quest for the everflame but the group didn't work out. I had taken the time to make him and flesh out a back story for him and so I ported him over to PFS and have had an amazing time playing him!

Have only been playing RPGs for a year, so may not be up to some of the great standards already set on here!

This is the original story for him:

Drake's story:

Drake was not born under a mystic sign, with a magical sword, heir to a lost kingdom or even a mysterious child delivered to the steps of the temple one dark night. He is the third son of a local merchant, and being the third son was surplus to requirements. His brothers would take over the family business and his father would not have him living off his profits; so he was sent out to find his own way in the world.

His way led him to the town's rangers, where he showed aptitude in both tracking, combat and knowledge of the local area. It was while out tracking with Arnama, that Drake earned his right to carry the Everflame in this year's quest, by discovering a number of Orc tracks leading back to a cave deep in the Broken Crags, the very caves the village use in times of danger. The Orcs had been raiding the outlying farms and buildings of Kassen for weeks, but by the time the town 's watch arrived they had vanished without a trace. The small boat moored by the river explained why the rangers could not track the Orcs back to where they came from. Despite being outnumbered, the two rangers quickly dispatched the green skinned raiders, but not before their chief could deliver a savage cut to Drake, barely missing his eye and opening his face from cheek down to chin. After a number of stitches and a dressing from Arnama, the pair explored the cave and found several sacks of grain, a number of stolen valuables and even managed to return farmer Erstwick's prize winning Hog; Daisy! They loaded the boat and returned to Kassen.

Away from ranging on his rare days off, he can be found playing dice or tiles with his friends in the Seven Silvers with a drink never far from his hand and a jape and a smile even closer. Standing at 5' 11", Drake has Shaggy blonde hair and a beard that covers the scar down the left side of his face. He wears an old, badly repaired studded leather tunic and faded black (nearly grey from years of washing and wear) shirt and trousers; he carries a large sword and a longbow slung at his back. All of his equipment is left over from previous rangers, but he dreams of one day being able to buy his own.

I have a second character that is so much fun to play i would love to see what you can do with her:

Rhea

Rhea's details:

Rhea is an Elven wizard

She is 6'4" and of a slender build and pale. She has spent a number of years locked away, researching as an obsession any scroll, magical item or pursuit of power that she can get her pale skinned hands upon. Her rare excursions away from her research is to take in over the top and hammy shows at the local theatre where she has learned the finer points of communication... ... or not.

She wears expensive dresses of the finest cuts and styles, her jet black hair is usually pulled back into a bun but a lock or two always seems to escape. In her hand at all times is an ornate book of her arcane research.

I have a mini that i painted up for her if my description is not up to scratch enough - Halfway down the page

If you can do something for them that would be fantastic.

Look forward to seeing what else you come up with for the other guys and gals on here too.

Grand Lodge

Ouch, could try emailing Reaper, they may take pity on you ;)

Grand Lodge

Aye, i fancy doing some current orcs but have some commissions to get out the way so i can afford to start them! :)

Plus I have been bitten by the Pathfinder bug! still new to RPGs in general so very clunky and awkward with the in character stuff, but im getting there!

Grand Lodge

Thanks Sean, he will have a strange lump on his back if you dont use it though, but that is easily taken care of with a bit of filing.

Grand Lodge

Hey! that's my blog :)

I loved painting the model, if you need any better pics let me know :)
